Matt. 24:15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
The AOD didn't occur between the times Jesus spoke those words & the destruction of the temple. But the AOD & those other events MUST & WILL occur. But there must be a temple for the AOD to occur in. These are backed up in 2 Thess. 2 & Rev. 13.
Thank you for giving me Scriptures that you believe support your view. You are presenting your interpretation of those passages, and now I will provide my interpretation of them.
In Matthew 24:15-21, Jesus is telling His immediate audience (you) that they will see the AOD that Daniel spoke of. When Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman armies, they remembered what Jesus warned of and fled to the mountains of Pella (60 miles northeast of Jerusalem) to escape the tribulation. This escape was made possible when Cestius and his armies suddenly withdrew from the temple area. It would be impossible to escape a worldwide tribulation. In verses 16-20, Jesus refers to the strict Sabbath laws of 1st century Israel. The Christians would have been prohibited from traveling on the Sabbath due to the travel restrictions placed upon them by the religious leaders.
"Never to be equaled again" - you have used that phrase to defend your position many times. Jesus was using hyperbole. We see similar language used in Ezekiel 5:9, Daniel 9:12, and many other places.
Like you, I believe 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation 13 provide additional support for my view. The temple was still standing when 2 Thessalonians was written. Nero was the Man of Lawlessness. Likewise, Nero / the Roman Empire was the "Sea Beast" of Revelation 13.
Finally, we must remember that the Scriptures are inspired, but our views and interpretations are not.
